Welcome
Dear Colleagues,

UCD VETERINARY HOSPITAL CONFERENCE 2016
It is a genuine pleasure to invite you to the 11th Annual UCD Veterinary Hospital (UCDVH) Conference on July 15th 2016; this is my first year as Clinical Director and it is only now that I fully appreciate the efforts that Hester, my other colleagues here in UCD, and Event Plus have undertaken in previous years to make this an outstanding success.UCDVH Conference Day is incredibly important to us as it allows us meet and host a huge number of valued colleagues in many walks of our profession. In addition, we get to invite many world renowned speakers to educate us in advances/current best practice within their specialist fields. We look upon the day as a small way of saying thank you to the profession for case referrals and the immense effort many of you make in supporting our student Clinical EMS programme.This year, we are covering 5 streams, with the advent of a Veterinary Public Health stream for the first time. In addition, and bearing in mind the increasing business complexities of practice, our Commercial Manager (Bernadette Rafter) has organized an early morning lecture to address key aspects of succession and tax planning. Based on your feedback from previous conferences, the main topics selected in most streams relate to various aspects of emergency medicine and surgery, as well as pain recognition and analgesic modalities. We are grateful also to the VCI for awarding 6.5 CPD points for the day (on the strict condition that I wouldn’t be giving any lectures!!).The social aspect of the day is equally important and as always, the meal and coffee breaks are designed to allow you catch up with friends and colleagues in a very informal setting, as well as view the numerous exhibition stands that highlight what’s new in our therapeutic / practice arsenal. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors for their continued support. I believe it will be a cracking day and thank you all sincerely for the support you continue to show us in attending this event each year.With best wishes,
Rory BreathnachClinical Director

General Information (in alphabetical order)
3 Small Animal Surgery Putting Humpty together again: Surgical management of the poly-trauma patientDoes your heart begin to race when you learn that a poly-trauma case is on its way? Do you find it challenging to decide on the correct approach to your patient, what injuries demand immediate attention and what ones can wait? In recent years there have been significant advances and improvements in the outcomes for our trauma patients. There are a plethora of diagnostic techniques now at our disposal and an ever increasing range of surgical treatment options available. This lecture and case-based stream will provide a truly multidisciplinary approach, utilising a number of specialists to provide in depth knowledge on the various aspects of trauma management. Participants will develop their knowledge and clinical decision-making in the principles of triage/stabilisation, imaging, anaesthesia and surgical treatment and return to their practices with renewed confidence for managing these highly challenging but equally rewarding cases.
Programme Information
2 Small Animal Medicine The complexities of supposedly common casesWhat is seldom is wonderful? We all enjoy the occasional challenge of obscure and complex cases. But what about the more commonly encountered medicine cases, are they always mundane? This year the Small Animal Medicine stream has a practical focus. It will address common medical presentations, such as anaemic animals, the dog or cat with ocular disease or those with neurological signs. The aim is to present a structured investigation for these common, yet sometimes complex problems. For those of you who enjoy a bit more excitement, topics such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and endocrine emergencies will be included. Case examples will be used to illustrate the topics being covered. Interactive audience participation will be strongly encouraged. An internationally renowned group of speakers has been organized and as is usual we are pleased to have the human medical side represented, providing insight into pediatric intensive care.
1 Succession Planning & TaxationThe HLB Sheehan Quinn team, led by Managing Partner, Mark Butler, offer specialist accounting and taxation services to veterinary practices. Donal Leahy is the Tax Partner at the firm. With their knowledge and experience of the profession, HLB Sheehan Quinn support and advise Veterinary Practitioners through a number of business phases from initial business acquisition and investment structures, to reducing taxation and enhancing tax relief opportunities. Mark understands that succession decisions are critical in sustaining organisational performance and success. Donal helps individuals and families to ensure that they meet all their taxation compliance requirements, as well as helping them with their tax planning and structuring needs. Both have relevant advice to share with you at this year’s Conference. The question and answer session at the end of the presentation will include all aspects of SME Veterinary practice ownership and management, including a general discussion on the possibility and benefits of Incorporation.
4 Equine Practical solutions to everyday challenges Conquering worm and eye disease. In the morning we will look at the perennial problem of equine internal parasites. In the face of an ever increasing worm resistance problem, we will take you step by step through the current research. By sharing the most up to date recommendations, the aim is to prepare you to give your client the most effective advice on evidence-based parasite control programs. In the afternoon sessions, we switch to ophthalmology. Our two experienced and entertaining speakers will share with you the wealth of their many years experience diagnosing and treating conditions of the equine eye. Whether you are looking for a quick refresher on the basics, or some insight into the latest treatments, there will be something for everyone in this session full of practical advice.
5 Veterinary Nurses Pain assessment & multi-modal approaches to managementAs animals are unable to verbally communicate pain it’s particularly important to be able to recognise both the obvious and not so obvious signs of pain. Pain assessment can be complicated by external factors and as it often falls to a carer to recognise and interpret signs of pain, there are two sessions dedicated to recognising the signs of stress versus pain in dogs and cats aimed at all levels. This will be followed by a more advanced session on pain recognition and scoring with the focus on the use of pain scales. The afternoon sessions will focus on multi-modal approaches to pain management including pre-emptive and multi-modal analgesia and a variety of practical physical therapy modalities.
6 Veterinary Public HealthThe role of animals and food in the spread of antimicrobial resistance is the subject of debate worldwide and has consequences for the use of antimicrobials by the veterinary profession. With the legislation surrounding veterinary medicines currently under review at European level, this stream will examine the controls on veterinary antimicrobial use introduced in Denmark and the Netherlands and the consequences of these controls for animal health and welfare, public health and the veterinary profession. It will also explore current knowledge and practice on antimicrobial use and resistance in human and animal health in Ireland.
